Chiroscience Discovers Novel Bone Gene:
Potential to Develop New Treatments to Reverse Osteoporosis
biz.yahoo.com

The genetic samples collected in South Africa
provided the starting point for the Chiroscience
scientists' search for the sclerosteosis gene. The
initial step was to extract genetic markers from the
chromosomes of individuals carrying the gene using a
genome wide scan. A genetic map of the region was then
developed and compared to similar maps from the DNA
samples of non affected families. This comparison
allowed the Chiroscience team to narrow the area
of DNA that was sequenced in order to find the gene.


here is an older bone gene eurekalert
